Fine Pak Persian Tabriz Design rug, wool, hand knotted Design: Floral all-over A Pakistani rug (Pak Persian Rug or Pakistani carpet) is a type of handmade floor-covering textile traditionally made in Pakistan. The art of weaving developed in the region comprising Pakistan at a time when few other civilizations employed it. Excavations at Moenjodaro and Harappa - ancient cities of the Indus Valley civilization - have established that the inhabitants used spindles and spun a wide variety of weaving materials. Some historians consider that the Indus Valley civilization first developed the use of woven textiles. Carpet weaving may have been introduced into the area of present-day Pakistan as far back as the 11th century with the coming of the first Muslim conquerors, the Afghan Ghaznavids and the Ghaurids.

The carpets woven in Lahore were the first to reach European markets, including England, as far back as 17th century. During the British Colonial era, prison weaving was established in district and female jails in cities such as Lahore and Karachi. Carpet-weaving outside of jails was revived after the independence when Pakistan's carpet-weaving industry flourished. At present, hand knotted carpets are made by Afghan refugees residing in Pakistan, making carpets and one of the country's leading export products. Hand knotted rug manufacture is Pakistan's second-largest cottage and small industry. The craftsmen have the capacity to produce any type of carpet using all the popular motifs of guls, medallions, paisleys (botehs), traceries, and geometric designs in various combinations. Pak Persian Persian inspired curvilinear and/or floral designs, usually styled from old Kashan...
